In my opinion there is no a better way to know something than know it directly. And I demostrated to myself that is possible to take profit from the market with a real trading (after years and years of sufferings). Blog is demostrating it, and every subscriber can attest it.
But the problem is the trader, not the market. Are you really sure that you are a disciplined man, with patience, without greed? So, are you really ready to trade? If you don't know yourself, if you are not able to have discipline and patience, in the market you are dead. This is my opinion. And I'm died a lot of times in the past.
I will show you an account that I'm managing, I have a records of all my trades on the contract of the S&P500 Future exp. March 2012, the contract ESH2. This is an account that I'm managing for another person (in my family), using generally only 1 contract, but in exceptional cases I used 2 or 3 contracts. You can see that from 14 December 2011 to 14 March 2012, (3 months) I gained 4782.82 Euro, that is around 6250 US Dollar. I think this is not bad, considering that I was working with a account that started with 14.000 US Dollar.
In this exceptional case I show this records, so who is interested can calculate the avarage loss, the avarage win, the bigger loss, the bigger win... and to convince himself that if you don't cut the losses you will ALWAYS LOSE MONEY ON THE MARKET. This is the bigger lesson that you can never learn. It is possible to be a winner trader, but you have to accept the reality... cut the losses
